I tried a few things with the foremats but unlike last year where we had no real competitive bowling,this year has been a bit of a challenge and i have found that Hat day running is less stressful for everyone. Too many variables comprimised other formats which i will not go into.
Thanks to Betty Carlin And Anne Speirs For providing chicken and sausage rolls for saturday bowlers.

Committee Headlines
1- As you all can see we have now put chain round green. While some think this is waste of money i personally think in the long term it will reduce green upkeep costs which are forever going up. Anyone wishing to do a Red Rum jump be mindful its a hard surface you are landing on. Well done Ronnie for fitting chain and for delivering jims automan. If you dont know what thats About ask Jim Porter he will fill you in.
2- We are currently nearing completion of Fire alarm upgrade to conform with current regulations and also for insurance purposes.
3-We have completed fitting new Alarm system and upgraded cameras.
4-We have also upgraded new till point which comes with a lot of feedback . Bar staff have had there training,awaiting feedback on how they are getting on.
5- We are hopeful to get some signage sponsership round the green soon .Anyone with a contact Let Jim Porter.
6- Again thanks to all our volunteers,we do need your help Saturday and Sundays 10am-12pm max. As a committee we decided do our own ground works and we have found it quite demanding and without your help it would another cost to Club.
During this pandemic we have lost a few members to long term illness and injury we all send our best wishes and hope to see them some time in future at the club. But we have increased our membership this year and welcome all new members and hope they enjoy our Club.
These are not the only issues we are dealing with on your behalf, these will remain within the committee forum.
